Isabella is not only up against kids from all over the world, but also will be competing against five other South Carolina spellers from all over the state and varying ages.

Isabella Neubauer﻿﻿ advanced to the Nationals with the word, "fauntleroy﻿." I had no idea what fauntleroy was, so thanks to google I now know it is from children's novel﻿ written by Frances Hodgson Burnett﻿ in 1885 called Little Lord Fauntleroy.
